The National Malaria Control Programme (PNLP) attaches great importance to the protection of your personal data. This policy explains which data are processed when you visit the site, why, and what your rights are, in accordance with Law No. 2008-12 of 25 January 2008 on the protection of personal data and its implementing Decree No. 2008-721 of 30 June 2008.
In short: this site has no user accounts, no audience measurement tools and no advertising. The PNLP never sells or transfers your data.

2. Data collected
When you write to us
The form on the Contact page does not store any data on the site: it prepares an e-mail in your own mail application, which you then choose whether or not to send to contact@pnlp.sn. If you send it, we receive the information you entered: first name, last name, e-mail address, subject and content of the message. The same applies if you e-mail or call us directly.
We recommend that you do not send personal medical information this way: for any question about your health, please contact a health facility.
While you browse
As with any website, the hosting server automatically records technical connection data (IP address, date and time, pages viewed, browser type). They are used only to keep the site running properly and securely.
3. Purposes and legal basis
| Purpose | Data | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Answering your requests for information | Identity, e-mail, message | Your consent (voluntary sending of the message) |
| Keeping the site running and secure | Technical connection data | Public-interest mission of the PNLP |
Your data are never used for commercial or marketing purposes.
4. Recipients
Your data are intended solely for PNLP staff authorised to handle your request. If your request concerns another department of the Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene, it may be forwarded to that department for the sole purpose of answering it. Data may also be disclosed to the competent authorities where required by law.
5. Third-party services
Some features of the site rely on external services, which may receive your IP address when the relevant pages load. These providers may be located outside Senegal.
- Google Fonts (Google): the site's typefaces, loaded on every page.
- OpenStreetMap (OpenStreetMap Foundation): map shown on the Contact page.
- Social networks (Facebook, X, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok): links and share buttons are plain links; no data is sent to these platforms unless you click on them.
PDF documents and some pages link to external websites (pnlp.sn, partners), which have their own privacy policies.
6. Retention period
- Messages and requests: as long as needed to handle the request, then for a maximum of 3 years from the last exchange.
- Technical connection data: 12 months maximum.
7. Security
The PNLP implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against loss, unauthorised access or disclosure: the site is served over an encrypted connection (HTTPS), and access to messages is restricted to authorised staff.
8. Your rights
Under Law No. 2008-12, you have the following rights over your data:
- right to information and access to your data;
- right to rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data;
- right to erasure of your data;
- right to object to processing on legitimate grounds.
To exercise these rights, write to contact@pnlp.sn or by post to the address above, stating the purpose of your request. You will receive a reply as soon as possible.
If you believe your rights have not been respected, you may lodge a complaint with Senegal's Personal Data Protection Commission (CDP): www.cdp.sn.
